Ep. 16: Akari bids farewell to her gondola through a tour of shared memories before a spiritual encounter.
During a routine inspection, Akari and Alicia learn that Akari's gondola is too worn for tourist service and must be sold as a freight hauler. Although Akari requests to keep it for training, she is advised that the gondola prefers daily use over infrequent employment. Following Alicia's suggestion, Akari embarks on a farewell tour to locations holding special memories, including taking Akatsuki as her first paying customer and meeting Alice. The journey concludes with her retracing the route of her promotion test to Single from before the series began. While descending a canal lock on her return, Akari falls asleep and dreams that the gondola's spirit appears, stating that their meeting was fate. Upon returning to Aria Company, she recalls the first time she rowed the gondola.
